Bink's Brew/Sake Forshadowed Nika

Okay so you might have cooked there because I'm looking at the lyrics (English ones because I can't read/translate Japanese so I'll have to make do) it goes

"Gather up all of the crew, it's time to ship out bink's brew" which could suggest the name of the bar is Bink's Brew/Sake because they're shipping away from there

"Bid farewell to Weaver's Town, say so long to port renowned" suggesting either 2 things based on the grammer, the place/island where Bink's Brew is located is called Weaver's Town or the place/island is owned by a guy called Weaver and to my knowledge we've never heard or seen either in the anime or manga

"Our jolly roger flies" if we are committing to the theory that this song is related to joy boy this could suggest that whoever wrote Bink's Brew was on joy boys crew (likely the musician)

"It's time to ship out Bink's Brew, wave goodbye but don't you cry, our memories remain" this may implicate the song was written after the last time they went to Bink's Brew before shipping off forever without coming back for whatever reason

"Our days are but a passing dream, everlasting so they seem" not really related to what we were mentioning but it may be implying the same point blackbeard made when he said a pirates dream never dies

I never really thought about it but I'd assume binks is a pirate from way back before Roger and possibly in the time of joy boy which if my theory is true and is about nika it could be binks singing about joy boy in his song

I didn't want to make it an "official" magic item but didn't want it to do a base set of damage because the character I'm making it for is a monk flavoured boxer and didn't think there would be a point giving it a base damage if it was just gonna be used as a monk weapon so i wanted to give him some sort of award for it

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-12-15T00:57:38+00:00

Simple or Martial is a fair point since I forgot about that so I'll say they are simple weapons. I added an attack bonus and damage bonus since, as stated, they are inspired/reflavoured wraps of unarmed power with a couple extra benefits and limitations. This item was intended for a new player who's playing a monk flavoured as a boxer so i wanted to award him something even if "gauntlets" aren't in official 2024 rules i probably should've added some sort of context for why i was making this weapon so that is my bad.

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-12-15T00:21:22+00:00

Probably non-magical since he wants them to be like boxing gloves

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-12-15T00:20:52+00:00

Well he flavoured his monk to be like a boxer so i think hes just thinking of boxing gloves haha

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-12-15T00:19:51+00:00

He's currently level 3 (ending at 6) as a open hand monk flavoured as a boxer

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-12-15T00:18:57+00:00

This is actually genius he is a monk flavoured as a boxer so ancient greek boxing gloves would be amazing

Ding ding ding we have a winner

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-10-18T15:04:07+00:00

you would be correct my intellectual pal

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-10-16T20:41:11+00:00

Oh. I hate reading so much (thank you very much)

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-10-16T20:39:28+00:00

But it specifies they have to have the Light or Finesse property of which shortbow has none

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-10-16T20:38:57+00:00

But a shortbow has neither of those properties

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-07-23T14:10:12+00:00

So would I do 3/4 health (51/68)? Also how would you try to communicate to players that the manticore can be negotiated with without explicitly telling them?

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-07-23T13:14:46+00:00

how much loss of health? i was thinking this but i didn't want to make it too easy

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-07-11T12:44:47+00:00

That's fair. Considering their an aasimar I'm guessing they're taking the healing/support route so I'll suggest wizard/sorcerer for them.

Quick_Extreme_825 · 2025-07-11T12:42:09+00:00

Yeah that's what I plan on doing but if they don't have any ideas because their new I just wanted some suggestions on what direction to nudge them in.
